AIN 1
By setting a bit in a control register within both the four-channel
version, AD7777, and the eight-channel version, AD7778, the
input channels can either be independently sampled or any two
channels of choice can be simultaneously sampled. For all versions the specified input signal range is of the form VBIAS ±
VSWING. However, if the RTN pin is biased at, say, 2 V the
analog input signal range becomes 0 V to +2 V for all input
channels. This is covered in more detail under the section
Changing the Analog Input Voltage Range. The voltage VBIAS
is the offset of the ADC’s midpoint code from ground and is
supplied either by an onboard reference available to the user
(REFOUT) or by an external voltage reference applied to
REFIN. The full-scale range (FSR) of the ADC is equal to
2 VSWING where VSWING is nominally equal to REFIN/2. Additionally, when placed in the half-scale conversion mode, the
value of REFIN is converted. This allows the channel offset(s)
to be measured.
Control register loading and ADC register reading, channel select and conversion start are under the control of the µP. The
twos complemented coded ADCs are easily interfaced to a standard 16-bit MPU bus via their 10-bit data port and standard
microprocessor control lines.
The AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 are fabricated in linear compatible CMOS (LC2MOS), an advanced, mixed technology process
that combines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS
logic. The AD7776 is available in a 24-pin SOIC package; the
AD7777 is available in both 28-pin DIP and 28-pin SOIC packages; the AD7778 is available in a 44-pin PQFP package.

Timing specifications in bold print are 100% production tested. All other times are guaranteed by design, not production tested. All input signals are specified with
tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of 5 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.

t4 is measured with the load circuit of Figure 4 and defined as the time required for an output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V.
4
t5 is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 4. The measured time is then extrapolated back
to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 100 pF capacitor. This means that the time t 5 quoted above is the true bus relinquish time of the device and, as
such, is independent of the external bus loading capacitance.

*Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 feature proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage
may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Description
VCC
+5 V Power Supply.
AGND
Analog Ground.
DGND
Digital Ground. Ground reference for digital circuitry.
DB0–DB9
Input/Output Data Bus. This is a bidirectional data port from which ADC output data may be read and to which
control register data may be written.
BUSY/INT
Busy/Interrupt Output. Active low logic output indicating A/D converter status. This logic output has two modes
of operation depending on whether location CR9 of the control register has been set low or high:
If CR9 is set low, then the BUSY/INT output will behave as a BUSY signal. The BUSY signal will go low and stay
low for the duration of a single conversion, or if simultaneous sampling has been selected, BUSY will stay low for
the duration of both conversions.
If CR9 is set high, then the BUSY/INT output behaves as an INTERRUPT signal. The INT signal will go low
and remain low after either a single conversion is completed or after a double conversion is completed if simultaneous sampling has been selected. With CR9 high, the falling edge of WR or RD resets the INT line high.
CS
Chip Select Input. The device is selected when this input is low.
WR
Write Input (Active Low). It is used in conjunction with CS to write data to the control register. Data is latched to the
registers on the rising edge of WR. Following the rising edge of WR, the analog input is acquired and a conversion is
started.
RD
Read Input (Active Low). It is used in conjunction with CS to enable the data outputs from the ADC registers.
AIN1–8
Analog Inputs 1–8. The analog input range is VBIAS ± VSWING where VBIAS and VSWING are defined by the reference
voltage applied to REFIN. Input resistance between any of the analog input pins and AGND is 10 kΩ or greater.
REFIN
Voltage Reference Input. The AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 are specified over a voltage reference range of 1.9 V to 2.1 V
with a nominal value of 2.0 V. This REFIN voltage provides the VBIAS and VSWING levels for the input channel(s).
VBIAS is equal to REFIN and VSWING is nominally equal to REFIN/2. Input resistance between this REFIN pin and
AGND is 10 kΩ or greater.
REFOUT
Voltage Reference Output. The internal voltage reference, which is nominally 2.0 V and can be used to provide the
bias voltage (VBIAS) for the input channel(s), is provided at this pin.
CREFIN
Reference Decoupling Capacitor. A 10 nF capacitor must be connected from this pin to AGND to ensure correct
operation of the high speed ADC.
RTN
Signal Return Path for the input channel(s). Normally RTN is connected to AGND at the package.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ADC Transfer Function
1FF
1FE
For all versions, an input signal of the form VBIAS ± VSWING is
expected. This VBIAS signal level operates as a pseudo ground to
which all input signals must be referred. The VBIAS level is determined by the voltage applied to the REFIN pin. This can be
driven by an external voltage source or, alternatively, the onboard 2 V reference, available at REFOUT, can be used. The
magnitude of the input signal swing is equal to VBIAS/2 (or
REFIN/2) and is set internally. With a REFIN of 2 V, the analog
input signal level varies from 1 V up to 3 V i.e., 2 ± 1 V. Figure 5 shows the transfer function of the ADC and its relationship to VBIAS and VSWING. The half-scale twos complement code
of the ADC, 000 Hex (00 0000 0000 Binary), occurs at an input
voltage equal to VBIAS. The input full-scale range of the ADC is
equal to 2 VSWING, so that the Plus Full-Scale transition (1FE to
1FF) occurs at a voltage equal to VBIAS + VSWING – 1.5 LSBs
and the minus full-scale code transition (200 to 201) occurs at
a voltage VBIAS – VSWING + 0.5 LSBs.

ADC Conversion Start Timing
Figure 6 shows the operating waveforms for the start of a conversion cycle. On the rising edge of WR, the conversion cycle
starts with the acquisition and tracking of the selected ADC
channel, AIN1–8. The analog input voltage is held 40 ns (typically) after the first rising edge of CLKIN following four complete CLKIN cycles. If tD in Figure 6 is greater than 12 ns, the
falling edge of CLKIN as shown will be seen as the first falling
clock edge. If tD is less than 12 ns, the first falling clock edge to
be recognized will not occur until one cycle later.

Following the “hold” on the analog input(s), two complete
CLKIN cycles are allowed for settling purposes before the MSB
decision is made. The actual decision point occurs approximately
40 ns after the rising edge of CLKIN as shown in Figure 6. A
further two CLKIN cycles are allowed for the second MSB
decision. The succeeding bit decisions are made approximately
40 ns after each rising edge of CLKIN until the conversion is
complete. At the end of conversion, if a single conversion
has been requested (CR6 = 0), the BUSY/INT line changes

state (as programmed by CR9), and the SAR contents are transferred to the first register ADCREG1. The SAR is then reset in
readiness for a new conversion. If simultaneous sampling has
been requested (CR6 = 1), no change occurs in the status of the
BUSY/INT output and the ADC automatically starts the second
conversion. At the end of this conversion the BUSY/INT line
changes state (as programmed by CR9) and the SAR contents
are transferred to the second register, ADCREG2.

Track-and-Hold
The track-and-hold (T/H) amplifiers on the analog input(s) of
the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 allow the ADC to accurately
convert an input sine wave of 2 V peak-peak amplitude up to a
frequency of 189 kHz, the Nyquist frequency of the ADC when
operated at its maximum throughput rate of 378 kHz. This
maximum rate of conversion includes conversion time and time
between conversions. Because the input bandwidth of the trackand-hold is much greater than 189 kHz, the input signal should
be band limited to avoid folding unwanted signals into the band
of interest.
Powerdown
The AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 can be placed in a powerdown
mode simply by writing a logic high to location CR8 of the control register. The following changes are effected immediately on
writing a “1” to location CR8:
• Any conversion in progress is terminated.
• If a conversion is in progress, the leading edge of WR immediately drives the BUSY/INT output high.
• All the linear circuitry is turned off.
• The REFOUT output stops being driven and is weakly (5 kΩ)
pulled to analog ground.
REV. 0
Control inputs CS, WR and RD retain their purpose while the
AD7776/ AD7777/AD7778 is in powerdown. If no conversions
are in progress when the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 is placed
into the powerdown modes, the contents of the ADC registers,
ADCREG1 and ADCREG2, are retained during powerdown
and can be read as normal. On returning to normal operating
mode a new conversion (or conversions, dependent on CR6) is
automatically started. On completion, the invalid conversion
results are loaded into the ADC registers losing the previous
valid results.
• Because each analog input channel sees a resistive divider to
AGND, the input resistance of which does not change between normal and powerdown modes, driving the analog input
signals to 0 V or as close as possible to 0 V will minimize the
power dissipated in the input signal conditioning circuitry.
• Similarly, the REFIN input sees a resistive divider to AGND,
the input resistance of which does not change between normal
and powerdown modes. If an external reference is being used,
then driving this reference input to 0 V or as close as possible
to 0 V will minimize the power dissipated in the input signal
conditioning circuitry.
• Since the REFOUT pin is pulled to AGND via, typically, a
5 kΩ resistor, any voltage above 0 V that this output may be
pulled to by external circuitry will dissipate unnecessary
power.
• Digital inputs CS, WR & RD should all be held at VCC or as
close as possible. CLKIN should be held as close as possible
to either 0 V or VCC.
• Since the BUSY/INT output is actively driven to a logic high,
any loading on this pin to 0 V will dissipate power.
The AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 comes out of the powerdown
mode when a Logic “0” is written to location CR8 of the control register. Note that the contents of the other locations in the
control register are retained when the device is placed in
powerdown and are valid when power is restored. However,
coming out of powerdown provides an opportunity to reload
the complete contents of the control register without any extra
instructions.

Microprocessor Interfacing Circuits
The AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 family of ADCs is intended to
interface to DSP machines such as the ADSP-2101, ADSP-2105,
the TMS320 family and microcontrollers such as the 80C196
family.
Table I gives a truth table for the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778
and summarizes their microprocessor interfacing features. Note
that a read instruction to any of the devices while a conversation
is in progress will immediately stop that conversion and return
unreliable data over the data bus.

If CR6 is low, i.e., single channel conversion selected, a read instruction returns the contents of
ADCREG1. Succeeding read instructions continue to return the contents of ADCREG1.
If CR6 is high, i.e., simultaneous sampling (double conversion) selected, the first read instruction
returns the contents of ADCREG1 while the second read instruction returns the contents of
ADCREG2. A third read instruction returns ADCREG1 again, the fourth ADCREG2, etc.

DESIGN INFORMATION

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
Ensure that the layout for the printed circuit board has the digital and analog grounds separated as much as possible. Take care
not to run any digital track alongside an analog signal track.
Guard (screen) the analog input(s) with RTN.
For the AD7776, AD7777 and AD7778, relative accuracy or
endpoint nonlinearity is the maximum deviation, in LSBs, of the
ADC’s actual code transition points from a straight line drawn
between the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
Establish a single point analog ground separate from the logic
system ground and as close as possible to the AD7776/AD7777/
AD7778. Both the RTN and AGND pins on the AD7776/
AD7777/AD7778 and all other signal grounds should be connected to this single point analog ground. In turn, this star
ground should be connected to the digital ground at one point
only—preferably at the low impedance power supply itself.
Differential Nonlinearity
Low impedance analog and digital power supply common returns are important for correct operation of the devices, so make
the foil width for these tracks as wide as possible.
In order to ensure a low impedance +5 V power supply at the
actual VCC pin, it will be necessary to employ bypass capacitors
from the pin itself to DGND. A 4.7 µF tantalum capacitor in
parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is sufficient.
ADC Corruption
Executing a read instruction to the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778
while a conversion is in progress will immediately halt the conversion and return invalid data over the data bus. The BUSY/
INT output pin should be monitored closely and all read instructions to the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 prevented while
this output shows that a conversion is in progress.
Executing a write instruction to the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778
while a conversion is in progress immediately halts the conversion, the falling edge of WR driving the BUSY/INT output high.
The analog input(s) is sampled as normal and a new conversion
sequence (dependent upon CR6) is started.
ADC Conversion Time
Although each conversion takes only 14 CLKIN cycles, it can
take between 4.5 to 5.5 CLKIN cycles to acquire the analog
input(s) after the WR input goes high and before any conversions start.
REV. 0
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent
codes. A specified maximum differential nonlinearity of ± 1 LSB
ensures no missed codes.
Bias Offset Error
For an ideal 10-bit ADC, the output code for an input voltage
equal to VBIAS should be midscale. The bias offset error is the
difference between the actual midpoint voltage for midscale
code and VBIAS, expressed in LSBs.
Bias Offset Error Match
This is a measure of how closely the bias offset errors of all
channels track each other. The bias offset error match of any
channel must be no further away than 10 LSBs from the bias
offset error of any other channel, regardless of whether the
channels are independently sampled or simultaneously sampled.
Plus and Minus Full-Scale Error
The input channels of the ADC can be considered to have
bipolar (positive and negative) input ranges, but which are referred to VBIAS (or REFIN) instead of AGND. Positive full-scale
error for the ADC is the difference between the actual input
voltage required to produce the plus full-scale code transition
and the ideal input voltage (VBIAS + VSWING –1.5 LSB), expressed in LSBs. Minus full-scale error is similarly specified for
the minus full-scale code transition, relative to the ideal input
voltage for this transition (VBIAS – VSWING + 0.5 LSB). Note that
the full-scale errors for the ADC input channels are measured
after their respective bias offset errors have been adjusted out.
Plus and Minus Full-Scale Error Match
This is a measure of how closely the full-scale errors of all channels track each other. The full-scale error match of any channel
must be no further away than 10 LSBs from the respective fullscale error of any other channel, regardless of whether the channels are independently sampled or simultaneously sampled.

Short Circuit Current
Figure 11 shows a 2048 point FFT plot for a single channel of
the AD7778 with an input signal of 99.88 kHz. The SNR is
58.71 dB. It can be seen that most of the harmonics are buried
in the noise floor. It should be noted that the harmonics are
taken into account when calculating the S/(N+D).
This is defined as the maximum current which will flow either
into or out of the REFOUT pin if this pin is shorted to any
potential between 0 V and VCC. This condition can be allowed
for up to 10 seconds provided that the power dissipation of the
package is not exceeded.

Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio, S/(N+D)
SIGNAL AMPLITUDE – dB
Signal-to-noise and distortion ratio, S/(N+D), is the ratio of the
rms value of the measured input signal to the rms sum of all
other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for S/(N+D) is given
in decibels.
Total Harmonic Distortion, THD
Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of the first
five harmonic components to the rms value of a full-scale input
signal and is expressed in decibels. For the AD7776/AD7777/
AD7778, total harmonic distortion (THD) is defined as:

where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2,
V3, V4, V5 and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the individual
harmonics.
The relationship between S/(N+D) and resolution (n) is expressed by the following equation:
Intermodulation Distortion, IMD
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion
products, of order (m + n), at sum and difference frequencies of
mfa + nfb, where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3. Intermodulation terms are
those for which m or n is not equal to zero. For example, the
second order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb) and the third
order terms include (2 fa + fb), (2 fa – fb), (fa + 2 fb) and (fa –
2 fb).
S/(N+D) = (6.02n + 1.76) dB
This is for an ideal part with no differential or integral linearity
errors. These errors will cause a degradation in S/(N+D). By
working backwards from the above equation, it is possible to get
a measure of ADC performance expressed in effective number
of bits (n).
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk between channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale
100 kHz sine wave signal to any one of the input channels and
monitoring the remaining channels. The figure given is the
worst case across all channels.

The effective number of bits plotted vs. frequency for a single
channel of the AD7778 is shown in Figure 12. The effective
number of bits is typically 9.5.

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING APPLICATIONS
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS
In digital signal processing (DSP) application areas like voice
recognition, echo cancellation and adaptive filtering, the dynamic characteristics S/(N+D), THD & IMD of the ADC are
critical. The AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 are specified dynamically as well as with standard dc specifications. Because the
track/hold amplifier has a wide bandwidth, an antialiasing filter
should be placed on the analog inputs to avoid aliasing of high
frequency noise back into the bands of interest.
The dynamic performance of the ADC is evaluated by applying
a sine wave signal of very low distortion to a single analog input
which is sampled at a 380.95 kHz sampling rate. A fast Fourier
transform (FFT) plot or histogram plot is then generated from
which the signal to noise and distortion, harmonic distortion
and dynamic differential nonlinearity data can be obtained.
Similarly, for intermodulation distortion, an input signal consisting of two pure sine waves at different frequencies is applied
to the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778.

Changing the Analog Input Voltage Range
RTN is tied to REFOUT then the analog input range becomes
0 V to 2 V. The fixed 2 V analog input voltage span of the ADC
can range from 1 V to 3 V (RTN = 0 V) to 0 V to 2 V (RTN =
2 V), i.e., with proper biasing, an input signal range from 0.3 V
to 2.3 V can be covered. Both the relative accuracy and differential nonlinearity performance remains essentially unchanged in
this mode while the SNR and THD performance are typically
2 dB to 3 dB worse than standard.
By biasing the RTN pin above AGND it is possible to change
the analog input voltage range from its VBIAS ± VSWING format to
a more traditional 0 V to VREF range. The new input range can
be described as
VOFFSET to (VOFFSET + REFIN)
where 0 V ≤ VOFFSET ≤ 1 V. To produce this range the RTN pin
must be biased to (REFIN – 2 VOFFSET). For instance if
